NEW YORK CALENDAR Application filed September 24, 1931. Serial No. 564,732.

This invention relates to improvements in calendars and has particular reference to a mounting therefor.

An objectof the invention is to provide an improved calendar mounting of simple and practical construction which will enable the feed and take-up rollers for a continuous date strip to be readily placed in operative position in the mounting and operated to suecessively expose the dates on said strip through a sight opening in the casing in which said mounting is supported.

The above and other objects will appear more clearly from the following de ailed description, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, which illustrates a preferred embodiment of the inventive idea.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a perspective view of the calendar constructed in accordance with the invention;

Figure 2 is a vertical longitudinal section through the casing of the calendar, showing the mounting in front elevation;

Figure 3 is a section on the line Figure 2;

Figure 4 is a bottom plan view of the calendar; and V Figure 5 is a side elevation of the mounting.

The calendar is shown as comprising a casing 6 having an open bottom 7 and provided in its front with a sight opening 8 adapted to have successively registered therewith the dates appearing upon a continuous calendar strip 9 carried by the mounting which is generally indicated by the numeral 10. The mounting 10 is so constructed as to be insert-able through the open bottom 7 and into the casing wherein it is removably supported. To this end, said mounting coinprises a substantially U-shaped frame consisting of a base 11 and side members 12 and 13. The side member 12 is cut vertically at its upper end to provide a spring tongue 14 and having means engaging said rollers to bent outwardly beyond the plane of the side member so as to frictionally engage an inner surface of the casing 6 to thereby retain the frame in position within said casing. v Journaled in the frame between the side members thereof are the feed and take-up rollers 15 and 16, respectively upon the former of which is wound the continuous date strip 9. From this roller the strip is passed over the guide rods 17 extending between the side members 12 and 13 adjacent the sight opening 8. Fromthe upper of these guide rods the strip is led downwardly to the take-up roller 16 upon which the strip is wound by rotating the disk 18 carried by one endof the shaft of the roller 16 and exposed through the bottom of the casing 7 so as to make said disk readily accessible.

In order to provide a support for the ends of the rollers 15 and 16 adjacent the side niember 13, the latter has struck therefrom a second spring tongue 20 having an opening 21 for receiving one end of the shaft of the take-uproller and an instruck stud 22 engageable with an opening formed in the adjacent end of the feed roller. The free end of this spring tongue is provided with a proj eotion 23, by means of which the tongue may be pulled outwardly in order to disengage it from the adjacent ends of said rollers.

VJhatis claimed is: V p

1. A calendar comprising a casing having a sight opening, a mounting insertable into said casing and including a frame having a base and side members, a spring tongue on one side member frictionally engaging said casing to retain said mounting therein, strip feed and take-up rollers supported between said sidemembers, a second spring tongue formed on the other of said side members rotatably support the same, and means carried by said mounting for rotating said rollers.

2. A calendar comprising a casing having a sight opening, a mounting insertable into said casing, means in said mounting to support a date strip in proximity to said sight opening, means carried by said mounting for 5 moving said strip past said opening, a spring tongue on said mounting and friotionally engageabie with said casing to releasably retain the mounting in position therein, and a second spring tongue formed on said mounting 16 for operatively supporting the first named means therein.

In testimony whereof, We have aifixed our signatures.
